So I have a windows 10 laptop, and can use built-in windows vpn with my work vpn credentials to access mapped drive on work server.

I want to achieve same but on android phone.

I have setup the vpn to work on my phone, working

I don't want 'remote desktop' ,

I want a file explorer app.

Can anyone help me?

Cheers

Info
We don't use cloud storage like onedrive

I have a office 365 business account to login to my laptop.

If theyre just using standard Windows shares, look for an "SMB" client.

Yep,

I've installed the app,

Can't seem to connect to it,

I don't know where I'm going wrong.

Windows is probably using NTLM to authenticate the folder access.

I need to try different variations of the credentials to try and make it work.
